I was real curious about this article yesterday and didn't see any comments.
Anyone have any idea what these cost when they came out? They seem like an unbelievably powerful/expensive machine for the year they came out.
Were they $50k, $100k, $500k?
- mepian 3y agoI can't find any relevant documentation for Texas Instruments but their prices were in the same ballpark as their primary competitor Symbolics, and you can find them in this document: http://bitsavers.org/pdf/symbolics/history/Symbolics_Overview_1986.pdf http://bitsavers.org/pdf/symbolics/history/Symbolics_Overvie... So around $50-100k.
